"insutu" likely means "in situ" meaning in place or onsite. It means testing concrete after it has been layed down. Likely it means you need to go to where the concrete is to perform the test.
Concrete testing equipment is testing for consistency within a given batch of concrete. Concrete needs to be a certain consistency in order to flow out of the trucks and into the space correctly. It also needs to have a certain consistency in order to set properly.

It depends who is doing the testing and what tests are carried out.
Non Destructive testing for concrete are types of tests that used to test the strength of the concrete. Some of the tests used are visual inspection,rebound hammer, and probe penetration.
Forney Materials Testing performs concrete tests and also sells their own specialized concrete test equipment. Admet Materials Testing System has very reliable concrete test equipment. You should look into their products and services.

The standard for concrete cube testing is to put the cube under increased pressure. The pressure is increased until the cube breaks and determines the cubes compression strength.

Yes, it is possible to determine the age of concrete using various methods. One common method is to analyze the mix design and construction records to estimate the age. Additionally, petrographic analysis can be used to examine the mineralogical composition and degree of hydration of the concrete, providing clues to its age. Non-destructive testing techniques such as ultrasonic pulse velocity testing can also be employed to assess the maturity of the concrete and infer its age.
